THE BIG GAME DAYFOOTBALL PARTY

cupcakes and a cake sheet as a football play
chart is a great example.
Create wrappers for bottled water and canned
drinks that match the party’s theme.
Dip potato chips in chocolate and then drizzle
lines on them with white chocolate to create a
unique topper that looks like a football.

CHILI BAR PARTY
Football and chili are a match made in heaven, don’t
you think? This pretty simple meal can be turned into a fun
party theme and allows people to try new chili combos while
interacting with friends and watching the big game. This is one
party that is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Offer smaller servings—for example, cut
hot dogs and potatoes in half and provide
smaller dining plates so people can try
more than one combo.
Serve mini Frito bags so people have
the option to just fill the bag with chili and
topping and eat right out of the bag. This
is a perfect for those who are really into the
game or for an outdoor event.
Use burlap or a cloth to cover the not-
so-pretty Crock-Pot. This allows it to be
a part of the décor on the table and not
an eyesore.

TAILGATE TIME PARTYThe best part of football is tailgating and
enjoying time with friends. It also serves as a
great party theme. Energize your typical Sunday
football get together with these creative tips!
Design a memorable table covering by re-
creating a football field. Use grass carpeting for
the base, white duct tape for the yardage lines
and yellow duct tape along with PVC pipe to
form the uprights.
Jazz up your décor by filling large glasses with
inexpensive small footballs and setting cheer
horns on tall candlesticks.
Let your paper/plastic products show your
team spirit by buying them in your team colors.
Most party stores carry every imaginable color
so alternate your colors for your utensils, paper
plates, napkins, etc.
